The PSOE affirms that if the delay in the adjudication of section II of the Round continues its financing would be jeopardized (13/09/2017)

Mateos assures that the paralysis is one more sample of which the Regional and local Popular Party is a project exhausted, since it again insists that the circumvallation round should have been executed before undertaking the works of Juan Carlos I and Alameda Cervantes that have plunged the city into true circulatory chaos.

The spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Diego José Mateos has said that the file of section II of the Round of Central Evacuation was tendered in June 2016 and has since been "paralyzed", without any decision being taken.

Taking into account that the execution period is 12 months and that the deadline for justification of the EIB works is December 2018, Mateos warns that "you are at the limit to justify works in time and not having to return the funds" .

As Lorca socialists have warned on numerous occasions in recent months, section II of the Central Round, which consists of saving the river Guadalentín, "accumulates months of delay in its award file, whose bidding began in June 2016, the bids were presented and the envelopes were opened on July 20, 2016. "

However, to date "there is no definitive resolution".

According to Mateos, since the deadline for the project is 12 months and the deadline to justify the works financed by the EIB is 31 December 2018, "they are at the limit to award, start the works and finish them in term, otherwise it could jeopardize this millionaire financing.

This is a project that, he recalls, exceeds 5.6 million bid budget.

Mateos wonders why this delay, since "there has not been, that is known, any challenge of the procedure until now".

In view of their concern, and given the lack of explanations on the part of the Popular Party, the Socialists have proposed an initiative in the Regional Assembly "to inform us of this delay and to impel definitively the adjudication of the project."

In addition, they do not rule out taking action so that the municipal assembly in Lorca is also pronounced.

Mateos insists that this paralysis is yet another sign that the regional and local Popular Party represents an exhausted political project ", according to the socialist spokesman" unable to be aware of important issues affecting infrastructure and citizenship. " to insist that the bypass had to be fully executed before undertaking the works of Juan Carlos I and Alameda Cervantes, which have plunged the city into a real circulatory chaos.
